Classic cars bring something to events and photoshoots that modern vehicles simply can’t match. Whether it’s a wedding, a brand campaign, a TV production or a styled shoot, the right car can set the tone instantly. On DRIVESHARE, owners list a wide range of vehicles across eras and styles, making it easy for guests and creative teams to find the perfect match.
Here are some of the most popular types of classic cars booked for events and photoshoots, and why they work so well on camera.
American muscle cars
Mustangs, Camaros and Chargers remain among the most requested event cars. Their strong lines and bold colours make an impact in both stills and video. They fit naturally into retro themes, Americana styling and outdoor shoots where you want a sense of energy and personality.
British icons
Cars like the Jaguar E-Type, Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, Bentley S series, and classic Mini Coopers offer timeless styling and a distinct British character. They work well for weddings, luxury events and editorial shoots where elegance, heritage or a London feel is key.
European sports cars
Porsche 911s, Mercedes SL models, Alfa Romeos and vintage BMWs are favourites for lifestyle shoots, fashion campaigns and automotive photography. Their clean lines, compact proportions and instantly recognisable silhouettes help elevate any scene.
Vintage convertibles
From 1960s roadsters to 1970s cruisers, convertibles are popular for outdoor weddings, summer events and brand photography. The open top gives more flexibility for shots, and the cars often bring a relaxed, nostalgic feel that works well across many styles.
Classic 4x4s
Vintage Land Rovers, Broncos and Jeeps are booked frequently for adventure-themed shoots and outdoor events. Their rugged styling photographs well and adds a sense of exploration or rural charm.
Campervans and retro vans
VW Campervans and vintage vans are favourites for festivals, beach shoots, family events and brand activations. They offer both visual appeal and practical space for props, equipment or behind-the-scenes setups.
Why classic cars work so well on camera
Classic cars add history, texture and authenticity to visual projects. Their colours, chrome details and hand-built elements create depth in photos, and many models instantly evoke a particular decade or mood. For events, they become part of the experience—something people remember and talk about long after the day is over.
